This Veterans Day Esther and I took advantage of the sunny weather by taking a drive and a hike. We wanted to catch some roads and places that were not too familiar to us. We started by taking the backroads to Steilacoom and Dupont, then down to the Nisqually Delta to the National Wildlife refuge. Though passing the area constantly on I-5, we have never stopped to visit. We took the four mile round trip walk to the end of the trail and back. The trail includes a mile long elevated boardwalk above the muddy tidelands. The wind was strong and freezing. We were a little underdressed, but we gritted it out. After our hike, we took a drive through the towns of Yelm, Rainier and Tenino before heading for Olympia and a dinner at the Oyster House.
